This program is sponsored by the Environmental Alliance of Santa Barbara County Museums. Formed in 2020, the Alliance is a collective of 12 museums, a zoo, and a botanic garden across Santa Barbara county that seeks to combine their impact to raise awareness about environmental issues through focused exhibitions, media campaigns, and educational programming.
The Alliance’s inaugural project—Impact: Climate Change and the Urgency of Now (April-September 2022)—invited visitors to all participating institutions to delve deeper into the complex and vexing challenge that is climate change.
